Great Uganda & Rwanda trip with Ngoni Safaris
5/5

We are 2 couples and we did a great 11-day safari in Uganda & Rwanda - both countries are amazingly beautiful and are a real gem for any traveller! Ngoni Safaris organized it very well and the price was competitive too. Our guide/driver Darius was 10/10 - professional, knowledgeble and a very nice person, we enjoyed every single day we spent with him. Communication with Cedrick from the main office was also very good, he was very flexible with all the requested changes. We strongly recommend Ngoni Safaris!

A Magical 10-Day Journey with Uganda Ngoni Tour Operators


I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a 10-day adventure with Ngoni Tour Operators, and I am still basking in the afterglow of an absolutely incredible experience. From start to finish, every aspect of the tour exceeded my expectations, leaving me with unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for the beauty of Uganda.

1. Impeccable Planning:
The Ngoni Tour Operators (Sedrick and Eddy) demonstrated meticulous planning, ensuring that every day was filled with diverse and enriching activities. From wildlife safaris to cultural encounters, each moment was thoughtfully curated, providing a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.

2. Expert Guide:
Our guide Eddy was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about wildlife. His insights into Uganda's history, wildlife, and culture added depth to the experience, making every excursion an educational journey. His commitment to our safety and enjoyment was evident throughout the trip.

3. Unforgettable Wildlife Encounters:
Uganda's rich biodiversity came to life through the safari experiences organized by Ngoni Tour Operators. Witnessing majestic gorillas, elephants, jaguars, lions, and rare birds in their natural habitats was a dream come true. Eddy's expertise and respect for wildlife enhanced our encounters, making them both thrilling and respectful of nature.

4. Comfortable Accommodations:
The accommodations selected by Sedrick were not only comfortable but also immersed in the beauty of Uganda's landscapes. Whether nestled within lush greenery or offering breathtaking views of wildlife, each stay was a retreat in itself.

5. Seamless Logistics:
From airport transfers to internal transportation, every logistical aspect of the tour ran like clockwork. This allowed us to focus on enjoying the experience without any concerns about the practicalities of travel.

In conclusion, our 10 days with Uganda Ngoni Tour Operators were nothing short of magical. This journey not only showcased the incredible beauty of Uganda but also highlighted the company's dedication to creating meaningful, responsible, and unforgettable travel experiences. I wholeheartedly recommend Ngoni Tour Operators to anyone seeking an adventure that combines luxury, culture, and a deep connection with nature.

Experience of a lifetime!!
5/5

7 day your was above and beyond our expectations! The accommodations, food, guiding, and experiences was far beyond what we thought we would see and do!! David or guide was phenomenal, knowledgeable, and we'll connected to the people of Uganda which I feel gave us an edge on where we stayed and maximized the amount of animals we saw, the perfect timing on seeing the chimpanzees and the gorillas.

We would highly recommend David and Ngoni Safari!!

Every single day was a highlight
5/5

Sedrick was quick to respond back when I first got in touch way back in 2020, and helped me to tailor an itinerary to my needs. Of course, 2020 didn't pan out so well and I ended up needing to cancel my trip due to travel restrictions, so was very grateful when Sedrick honoured my deposit, no questions asked, a full three years later!

The tour itself was INCREDIBLE. We did an 11 day trip through Uganda, covering many of the main regions. I'm not exaggerating when I say that every single day of the trip was a highlight - and I say this as someone who has done a few safari trips before (SA, Kenya, Namibia, Botswana).

Our guide, Darius, was down to earth, friendly and welcoming, and a great person to spend the trip with. We enjoyed chatting to him and learning about life in Uganda as well as the the sites we visited. Not only did he have comprehensive knowledge about both the animals and birds (including prior experience working at some of the national parks), but he clearly made an effort to focus on what we were interested in. I can't believe how good his eyesight was. For example, Darius spotted a leopard about 100m off the road in a cactus tree which I struggled to even find with binoculars. We were the only car of many driving along that main tarmac road that stopped to take a closer look!

We loved exploring Uganda, and it was completely different to anywhere else I've been (even neighbouring Kenya) in terms of landscapes, wildlife and culture. The chimp and gorilla tracking were the focal point for me and didn't disappoint - I'm still looking back though those photos often to relive those experiences. There is absolutely nothing like it.

On the accommodation side, each place was fantastic and unique in its own way, from an island in a lake to a lodge where elephants wander past in front of you as you have a drink at the end of the day. Similarly, the food was a consistently high standard. Neither of us got sick at any point, although we met people on other tours who had, so probably best to bring some precautionary meds in case.

Overall, this was the trip of a lifetime - I would unreservedly recommend Ngoni to anyone looking to visit Uganda. And if you're not specifically looking to visit Uganda... Maybe reconsider, it's really worth bumping to the top of your list!

One Stop Safari tour operator who can fil all your needs and then some.
5/5

We just returned from a 15-day Uganda Safari with 2 x Gorilla trekking,1 x Chimp Habituation and 1 x Golden Monkey trekking. (Bwindi Forest)
Ngoni Safari was a great company to deal with from start to finish. Sedrick was quick to reply to emails and easy to work with. I would highly recommend their services for your next safari in Uganda. We had James as our driver/guide and he was fantastic! James took the time for our special requests and delivered. Including some great coffee to bring back home with us. The Gorilla and Golden Monkey trekking was difficult and took us approximately 5-6 hours to complete each one. Proper trekking shoes and clothing are recommended. Thank you, James and Ngoni Safaris for making this a memorable experience that we will cherish!

The trip of a lifetime
5/5

We recently completed a 9-day Uganda Safari. The tour from beginning to end was wonderful. . Elly, our tour guide was so knowledgeable and helpful and went out of his way to make our tour memorable. Sedrick made sure we had the best accommodation and even upgraded our last accommodation so that we can relax at the end of a tiring trek.

The safari was beyond any expectation I had. I would highly recommend Ngoni Safaris.

Great
5/5

The booking went smoothly and our questions, desires and queries were answered in a timely manner via email. When the time of the trip approached, the faster communication was via whatsapp. The driver / guide David was amazing, the trip went really well and we explored the country. The company made an extra effort and assisted us with a delayed luggage. Above all, a great experience.

Unforgetable Journey
5/5

The tour was an amazing and well organized. We did the tour as AfricanFive.com - the Polish tour operator to check an opportunities given by Uganda. Ngoni safari planned the tour well, we have seen even more than expected. Some small amendmends made on the road by our guide - David were incredible valuable. The Ngoni team included Sedrick and David did the best possible job to make our tour unforgetable. We are strongly recommending Ngoni Safari!

Fantastic trip to Lake Mburo
5/5

We went on a four-day trip with Ngoni from Kigali to Lake Mburo and the equator. Communication with Sedrick was quick and very interactive. We had a fantastic trip. Our driver/guide Twaha was great and really listened to our requests. Twaha made sure that we got to see and do everything we wanted.
We can highly recommend the cycling safari in Lake Mburo as well as Mihingo Lodge where we had a great stay!
